Beschreibung:
FERNANDO PEREZ OYARZUN, RODRIGO PEREZ DE ARCE, and HORACIO TORRENT are professors of architecture at Pontificia Universidad Catolica in Santiago. Chile. All have written extensively on modern architecture in Chile.
Chilean architecture sets a benchmark for the intersection of modernism with vernacular influences in Latin America. Culture, landscape, and the geology of this earthquake-prone region have served as important filters for the practice of post-1950s design in Chile. This title introduces the modern architecture of Chile.
